Sharing My Recipes, My Life, And The Food Tale Of Two Cities

Tommy” Joynt Sandwiches

by Linda Lou Hamel on October 8, 2013

When visiting San Francisco, I always made a point to visit the places on saw on the Network’s show called Unique Eats. I had never been to San Francisco at this at this point, Melissa hadn’t live there very long, so I put together an “food crawl”. I thought that we would stop at each of the places that I saw advertised, and eat where the locals ate. The First was this different type of bar-b-q place unlike anything I’d ever seen before. Tommy;’s Joynt is two stories, with an eclectic decor,and a full liquor bar. You go through this line where all the food is laid out so beautifully behind a glass. All the meats ready to be carved followed by the side dishes. After you pick out your seat then a server comes along and helps you out with a cocktail. I was in heaven.

Hello

Linda Lou And Melissa

Hello, thank you so much for stopping by. I'm Linda Lou, a single parent of a beautiful daughter named, Melissa. She's now currently, continuing her education, while living in San Fran. CA. Myself, I live in Orlando, Florida, in a great neighborhood known as College park. I learned how to cook at a very early age from my mother, who was from England, also my grandmother, who was from Italy. Two very different types of cuisine. I believe, that both styles shine through in my recipes. Living in such a warm climate, I'm lucky enough to be able to grow all my own herbs. As often as I can, I take advantage of our farmer's market, where I buy seasonal and local ingredients. I've lived in Orlando for many years and watched the culinary industry grow beyond belief. We have great chefs and terrific cuisine all over the state. I'm going to be sharing my recipes, my life, and giving a peek into the culinary world of two cities, Orlando and San Francisco.
